Each person and situation is unique.  I draw from the following approaches so that I can be flexible to your needs.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
​Acceptance and commitment therapy is highly values based.  Rediscovering what's important to us and learning how to notice our experiences in a different way is an important step.  By dropping the struggle with difficult thoughts and feelings, people are able to take actions that bring them towards a rich, full, meaningful life.  ACT offers many tools that people can apply in everyday life.

Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE)
​Prolonged exposure (PE) therapy is an intensive, structured treatment designed specifically for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).  It targets avoidance of both internal and external experiences and fosters post-traumatic growth.  Research has shown that PE is one of the most effective treatments for PTSD.

Psychoeducation
​Psychoeducation involves sharing information about psychology that is evidence-based or generally accepted within the profession.  Information may relate to areas such as cognitive functioning, memory, or emotional processes.  Psychoeducation can help clients gain a better understanding of issues they might be struggling with.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
​Cognitive behavioural therapy targets a person’s unhelpful thoughts and beliefs in order to change behaviours and improve wellbeing.  This model offers many tools and techniques to help people cope with the challenges life can bring.
